DEFRA also provide us with the guidance to carry out our duties and requires us to produce and publish an Air Quality Report that provides an overview of air quality in the district.

In our district, we are concerned with the two main pollutants resulting largely from vehicle emissions. These are nitrogen dioxide (NO2 ) and particulate matter (PM10).

We currently monitor NO2 on a monthly basis at 8 sites across the district, using passive diffusion tubes. An automatic monitor is also located at Isfield, measuring levels of ozone. Details of these monitoring locations can be found in the Air Quality Reports.
